Zero-shot semantic segmentation aims to recognize, pixel-wise, unseen categories without annotated masks, typically by leveraging vision-language models such as CLIP. However, the patch representations obtained by the CLIP's vision encoder lack object-centric structure, making it difficult to locali…
Generating realistic and expressive audio-driven talking avatars remains a central challenge in digital human synthesis. Existing methods often depend on intermediate representations such as pose estimations for natural body motion, which restricts flexibility and adds visual distortions. Moreover,
The emergence of vision-language foundation models has enabled the integration of textual information into vision-based applications. However, in few-shot classification and segmentation (FS-CS), this potential remains underutilised. Commonly, self-supervised vision models have been employed, partic…
Advanced image fusion methods mostly prioritise high-level missions, where task interaction struggles with semantic gaps, requiring complex bridging mechanisms. In contrast, we propose to leverage low-level vision tasks from digital photography fusion, allowing for effective feature interaction thro…
Recent advances in visual grounding have largely shifted away from traditional proposal-based two-stage frameworks due to their inefficiency and high computational complexity, favoring end-to-end direct reference paradigms. However, these methods rely exclusively on the referred target for supervisi…
Drug Target Interaction (DTI) prediction has witnessed promising performance boosts accompanied by advanced multimodal feature extraction. However, existing approaches suffer from two main difficulties. First, the complex protein structures cannot be well represented by current protein-sequence-base…
Existing infrared and visible image fusion methods often face the dilemma of balancing modal information. Generative fusion methods reconstruct fused images by learning from data distributions, but their generative capabilities remain limited. Moreover, the lack of interpretability in modal informat…
Foundation models like CLIP and ALIGN have transformed few-shot and zero-shot vision applications by fusing visual and textual data, yet the integrative few-shot classification and segmentation (FS-CS) task primarily leverages visual cues, overlooking the potential of textual support. In FS-CS scena…
"Compositional actions consist of dynamic (verbs) and static (objects) concepts. Humans can easily recognize unseen compositions using the learned concepts. For machines, solving such a problem requires a model to recognize unseen actions composed of previously observed verbs and objects, thus requi…
"The integration with CLIP (Contrastive Vision-Language Pre-training) has significantly refreshed the accuracy leaderboard of FSAR (Few-Shot Action Recognition). However, the trainable overhead of ensuring that the domain alignment of CLIP and FSAR is often unbearable. To mitigate this issue, we pre…
Reinforcement Learning (RL) has been widely used to create generalizable autonomous vehicles. However, they rely on fixed reward functions that struggle to balance values like safety and efficiency. How can autonomous vehicles balance different driving objectives and human values in a constantly cha…
Contrastive learning has achieved great success in skeleton-based action recognition. However, most existing approaches encode the skeleton sequences as entangled spatiotemporal representations and confine the contrasts to the same level of representation. Instead, this paper introduces a novel cont…
Visual grounding is a common vision task that involves grounding descriptive sentences to the corresponding regions of an image. Most existing methods use independent image-text encoding and apply complex hand-crafted modules or encoder-decoder architectures for modal interaction and query reasoning…
Recently, word enhancement has become very popular for Chinese Named Entity Recognition (NER), reducing segmentation errors and increasing the semantic and boundary information of Chinese words. However, these methods tend to ignore the information of the Chinese character structure after integratin…
